Pure coincidence!  I had done an AltaVista search for something entirely
unrelated, and one of the pages that hit was a huge collection of
quotes; so I just started reading...

Anyway, guess this wasn't such a great find.  Reminds me of another
RWE quote on the same page (in fact the very next one):

	Tomorrow a stranger will say with masterly good sense precisely
	what we have thought and felt all the time, and we shall be
	forced to take with shame our own opinion from another.
